Thread: Noooooo! Multilex :(

http://online.multilex.ru

It's vanished off the face of the internet!

edit: mystery solved.

So now you're probably supposed to type the address as "http://offline.multilex.ru"

(just kidding)

multilex.ru:
"Сайт закрыт на ремонт.
Приносим свои извинения."

I actually tried that address, but the encoding is all coming out wrong for me, I get this:

"Сайт закрыт на ремонт.
Приносим свои извинения."

is there somebody using Lingvo? I use only this.

Looks like the Lingvo tutor has yet many things to do...

It is Unicode UTF-8. Any browser should be able to switch into it. Something like "View-Encoding-Unicode-UTF8"

thanks for corrections,

actually Lingvo is a dictionary, it's not a tutor

There's a "tutor" as well, it's basically like a simple flashcards program.

I downloaded Lingvo but the licenses on all the dictionaries expired so I can't use it any more. Multilex is an excellent free alternative (when it's not down that is, lol).

oh, yes. there's a small tutor in it, don't know how useful it is, i switched it off, basically, the idea of Lingvo is a dictionary (i use multi-language), which is more convenient for speakers of Russian as it is developed by Russians, and it easy to get it in Russia.

I use ABBYY Lingvo X3, it's fabulous.

Aha! The mystery is solved. I just received an email from multilex:

Новое имя онлайн-словаря МультиЛекс

So the new site, for anyone that's interested, is
online.slovoed.ru
